THE 

NEW  PILGRIM  HYMNAL 

The  especial  purpose  of  the  New  Pilgrim  Hymnal  is  to  supply  a 
collection  of  hymns  and  tunes  by  which  adequate  expression  is  given  to 
the  religious  spirit  of  our  own  day. 

The  following  approximate  analysis  will  show  in  some  measure  the 
nature  and  contents  of  the  book: 

200  at  least  of  the  hymns  may  be  classified  as  belonging  to  the 
old  standard  list,  such  as  "Come  Thou  Almighty  King,"  "Lord  of  all 
Being,  Throned  Afar,"  "Come  Holy  Spirit,  Heavenly  Dove,"  "Joy  to 
the  World,  the  Lord  is  Come,"  "Rock  of  Ages,  Cleft  for  Me,"  etc. 
With  these  hymns  are  connected  the  old  familiar  tunes,  Italian  Hymn, 
Louvan,  Arlington,  Antioch,  Toplady,  etc. 

200  and  more  are  later  hymns  which  are  now  familiar,  associated, 
many  of  them,  with  English  tunes,  such  as  "Holy,  Holy,  Holy,  Lord 
God  Almighty"  (Nicsea),  "When  Morning  Gilds  the  Skies"  (Laudes 
Domini),  "Beneath  the  Cross  of  Jesus"  (St.  Christopher),  "Crown 
Him  with  Many  Crowns"  (Diademata),  etc. 

150  are  less  familiar  old  hymns  and  tunes,  hymns  by  such  authors 
as  James  Russell  Lowell,  Thomas  Hughes,  Anne  Bronte,  F,  L.  Hosmer, 
John  G.  Whittier,  Samuel  Longfellow,  etc.;  beautiful  hymns  to  which  a 
hearty  welcome  will  be  given. 

150  more  hymns  or  tunes  are  new  to  our  hymn-books,  by  authors 
like  Maltbie  Babcock,  Oscar  E.  Maurer,  Isaac  Ogden  Rankin,  Felix 
Adler,  George  T.  Coster,  and  others;  and  in  addition  to  these  may  be 
noted  many  instances  in  which  new  tunes  are  provided  for  some  of  the 
older  hymns  where  the  old  tunes  or  favorites  are  also  retained. 

The  Pilgrim  Hymnal  is  superior  to  all  other  books  in  its  admirable 
section  of 

Responsive  Readings  and  Other  Aids  to  Worship 

The  responsive  readings  are  topically  arranged  with  great  care 
and  skill.  The  principles  of  parallelism  are  finely  maintained,  so  that 
the  responses  seem  perfectly  natural.  No  readings  are  chosen  which 
are  not  adapted  to  this  use.  At  the  same  time,  by  choice  of  lyric 
passages  from  the  Prophets  and  other  parts  of  the  Scripture,  greater 
variety  is  presented  than  in  collections  which  are  confined  to  the  Psalms. 
There  are  twenty-three  selections  from  Isaiah,  three  from  Proverbs, 
four  from  Job,  two  from  Hosea,  one  from  Jeremiah  and  thirteen  from 
the  New  Testament. 

FOR  THE  ENRICHMENT  OF  WORSHIP,  there  are  collected, 
also,  a  number  of  passages  to  be  used  as  Unison  Confessions.  There  are 
five  pages  of  brief  prayers,  adapted  to  various  parts  of  the  service.  There 
are  four  pages  of  sentences  that  may  be  used  at  the  beginning,  for  the  offer- 
tory, or  at  the  close  of  the  service,  and  there  is  a  model  Order  of  Worship. 

Indexes  are  abundantly  supplied  to  both  the  Hymn-Book  and  the 
Responsive  Readings,  and  an  unusually  thorough  cross-reference  topical 
index.

Casting  down  their  golden  crowns  around  the  glassy  sea. 
Cherubim  and  seraphim  falling  down  before  thee, 
Which  wert  and  art  and  evermore  shalt  be. 

3  Holy,  holy,  holy  !  though  the  darkness  hide  thee. 
Though  the  eye  of  sinful  man  thy  glory  may  not  see, 
Only  thou  art  holy,  there  is  none  beside  thee. 

Perfect  in  power,  in  love  and  purity. 

4  Holy,  holy,  holy,  Lord  God  Almighty  ! 

All  thy  works  shall  praise  thy  name,  in  earth,  and  sky,  and  sea ; 
Holy,  holy,  holy,  merciful  and  mighty  !

2  O  tell  of  his  might,  O  sing  of  his  grace, 
Whose  robe  is  the  light,  whose  canopy  space ; 

His  chariots  of  wrath  the  deep  thunder-clouds  form, 
And  dark  is  his  path  on  the  wings  of  the  storm. 

3  Thy  bountiful  care  what  tongue  can  recite  ? 
It  breathes  in  the  air,  it  shines  in  the  light, 

It  streams  from  the  hills,  it  descends  to  the  plain. 
And  sweetly  distils  in  the  dew  and  the  rain. 

4  Frail  children  of  dust,  and  feeble  as  frail, 
In  thee  do  we  trust,  nor  find  thee  to  fail : 

Thy  mercies  how  tender,  how  firm  to  the  end. 
Our  Maker,  Defender,  Redeemer  and  Friend.

^  Psalm  One  Hundred  and  Four ' 

2  The  earth  where  we  dwell,  that  journeys  in  space, 
With  air  as  a  robe  thou  wrappest  around  : 

Her  countries  she  turneth  to  greet  the  sun's  face, 
Then  plungeth  to  slumber  in  darkness  profound. 

3  All  seemeth  so  sure,  yet  naught  doth  remain: 
Unending  their  change  obeys  thy  decree : 

The  valleys  of  ocean  stand  up  a  dry  plain. 

Thou  whelmest  the  mountains  beneath  the  deep  sea. 

4  O  God,  thou  art  great !   no  greatness  I  see. 
Except  thee  alone,  thy  praise  to  record. 

On  all  thy  works  musing  my  pleasure  shall  be  : 

My  joy  shall  be  singing,  '  My  soul,  praise  the  Lord  ! ' 

'Yattendon  Hymnal  *,  1899 

(^Concluded)     ''Praise,   0  Te  Servants  of  the  Lord* 

3  Salvation  to  God,  who  sits  on  the  throne  ! 
Let  all  cry  aloud,  and  honor  the  Son. 

Of  Jesus  the  praises  the  angels  proclaim. 

Fall  down  on  their  faces  and  worship  the  Lamb. 

4  Then  let  us  adore,  and  give  him  his  right, 
All  glory  and  power,  and  wisdom  and  might. 

All  honor  and  blessing,  with  angels  above. 
And  thanks  never  ceasing,  and  infinite  love.

^ Psalm   One  Hundred' 


All  people  that  on  earth  do  dwell,        3 
Sing  to  the  Lord  with  cheerful  voice ; 

Him  serve  with  fear,  his  praise  forth  tell, 
Come  ye  before  him  and  rejoice. 

The  Lord  ye  know  is  God  indeed,       4 
Without  our  aid  he  did  us  make, 

We  are  his  folk,  he  doth  us  feed. 
And  for  his  sheep  he  doth  us  take.

L.  M. 


O  enter  then  his  gates  with  praise, 
Approach  with  joy  his  courts  unto  ; 

Praise, laud,  and  bless  his  name  always. 
For  it  is  seemly  so  to  do. 

For  why  .?  the  Lord  our  God  is  good, 
His  mercy  is  forever  sure ; 

His  truth  at  all  times  firmly  stood. 
And  shall  from  age  to  age  endure. 
William  Kethe,  1561 

*  Psalm   One  Hundred  and  Seventeen ' 

1  From  all  that  dwell  below  the  skies. 
Let  the  Creator's  praise  arise  : 

Let  the  Redeemer's  name  be  sung 
Through  every  land,  by  every  tongue. 

2  Eternal  are  thy  mercies,  Lord  ; 
Eternal  truth  attends  thy  word: 

Thy  praise  shall  sound  from  shore  to  shore 

Till  suns  shall  rise  and  set  no  more.

2  Under  the  shadow  of  thy  throne 

Thy  saints  have  dwelt  secure ; 
Sufficient  is  thine  arm  alone, 
And  our  defence  is  sure. 

3  Before  the  hills  ih  order  stood, 

Or  earth  received  her  frame, 
From  everlasting  thou  art  God, 
To  endless  years  the  same. 


4  A  thousand  ages  in  thy  sight 

Are  like  an  evening  gone. 
Short  as  the  watch  that  ends  the  night 
Before  the  rising  sun. 

5  Time,  like  an  ever-rolling  stream, 

Bears  all  its  sons  away  : 
They  fly  forgotten,  as  a  dream 
Dies  at  the  opening  day. 


6   Our  God,  our  help  in  ages  past. 
Our  hope  for  years  to  come. 
Be  thou  our  guard  while  troubles  last. 
And  our  eternal  home.

To  us  thy  radiant  steps  appear. 
Here  leads  thy  glorious  way. 

Not  only  olden  ages  felt 
The  presence  of  the  Lord  ; 

Not  only  with  the  fathers  dwelt 
Thy  Spirit  and  thy  Word  : 

Doth  not  the  Spirit  still  descend 
And  bring  the  heavenly  fire  \ 


Doth  not  he  still  the  church  extend. 
And  waiting  souls  inspire  ? 

Come,  Holy  Ghost,  in  us  arise  : 

Be  this  thy  mighty  hour  ; 
And  make  thy  willing  people  wise 

To  know  thy  day  of  power. 

Pour  down  thy  fire  in  us  to  glow, 

Thy  might  in  us  to  dwell : 

Again  thy  works  of  wonder  show, 

Thy  blessed  secrets  tell.

1  God  of  the  earth,  the  sky,  the  sea,  3   We  feel  thy  calm  at  evening's  hour. 

Maker  of  all  above,  below.  Thy  grandeur  in  the  marchof  night; 

Creation  lives  and  moves  in  thee.  And,  when    the    morning  breaks    in 

Thy  present  life  through   all  doth  power,                                 [light ! ' 

flow.  We  hear  thy  word,  '  Let  there  be 

2  Thy  love  is  in  the  sunshine's  glow,  4   But  higher  far,  and  far  more  clear, 


Thy  life  is  in  the  quickening  air ; 
When    lightnings    flash    and    storm- 
winds  blow. 
There  is  thy  power ;  thy  law  is  there. 


Thee  in  man's  spirit  we  behold 

Thine  image  and  thyself  are  there. 

The  indwelling  God,  proclaimed  of 

old.

T7;^  Baptism  of  the  Spirit 
(2)   I  ask  no  dream,  no  prophet-ecstasies, 

No  sudden  rending  of  the  veil  of  clay. 
No  angel-visitant,  no  opening  skies ; 

But  take  the  dimness  of  my  soul  away. 

3  Hast  thou  not  bid  us  love  thee,  God  and  King, 

All,  all  thine  own,  soul,  heart,  and  strength,  and  mind .? 
I  see  thy  cross  —  there  teach  my  heart  to  cling : 
O  let  me  seek  thee,  and  O  let  me  find  ! 

4  Teach  me  to  feel  that  thou  art  always  nigh ; 

Teach  me  the  struggles  of  the  soul  to  bear. 
To  check  the  rising  doubt,  the  rebel  sigh ; 

Teach  me  the  patience  of  unanswered  prayer; 

5  Teach  me  to  love  thee  as  thine  angels  love, 

One  holy  passion  filling  all  my  frame, — 

The  baptism  of  the  heaven-descended  Dove,  ' 

My  heart  an  altar,  and  thy  love  the  flame,

Come,  tenderest  Friend  and  best, 
Our  most  delightful  guest. 

With  soothing  power ; 
Rest  which  the  weary  know. 
Shade  'mid  the  noontide  glow. 
Peace  when  deep  griefs  o'erflow. 

Cheer  us  this  hour. 

Come,  Light  serene  and  still, 
Our  inmost  bosoms  fill. 

Dwell  in  each  breast  ; 
We  know  no  dawn  but  thine. 
Send  forth  thy  beams  divine 
On  our  dark  souls  to  shine. 

And  make  us  blest. 


4  Exalt  our  low  desires  ; 
Extinguish  passion's  fires  ; 

Heal  every  wound  : 
Our  stubborn  spirits  bend, 
Our  icy  coldness  end, 
Our  devious  steps  attend, 

While  heavenward  bound. 

5  Come,  all  the  faithful  bless, 
Let  all  who  Christ  confess 

His  praise  employ  ; 
Give  virtue's  rich  reward ; 
Victorious  death  accord, 
And  with  our  glorious  Lord, 

Eternal  joy.

*  Crucifixion  to  the  World  by  the  Cross  of  Christ ' 

2  Forbid  it,  Lord,  that  I  should  boast,    3  See,  from  his  head,  his  hands,  his  feet, 

Save  in  the  cross  of  Christ,  my  God;  Sorrow  and  love  flow  mingled  down! 

Ail  the  vain  things  that  charm  me  most  Did  e'er  such  love  and  sorrow  meet, 

I  sacrifice  them  to  his  blood.  Or  thorns  compose  so  rich  a  crown? 

4  Were  the  whole  realm  of  nature  mine. 
That  were  a  present  far  too  small ; 
Love  so  amazing,  so  divine. 

Demands  my  soul,  my  life,  my  all.

In  the  Cross  of  Christ  I  Glory 


In  the  cross  of  Christ  I  glory, 

Towering  o'^^r  the  wrecks  of  time  ; 

All  the  light  of  sacred  story 

Gathers  round  its  head  sublime. 

When  the  woes  of  life  o'ertake  me, 
Hopes  deceive,  and  fears  annoy. 

Never  shall  the  cross  forsake  me  ; 
Lo  !  it  glows  with  peace  and  joy. 


When  the  sun  of  bliss  is  beaming 
Light  and  love  upon  my  way, 

From  the  cross  the  radiance  streaming 
Adds  more  luster  to  the  day. 

Bane  and  blessing,  pain  and  pleasure. 
By  the  cross  are  sanctified ; 

Peace  is  there  that  knows  no  measure, 
Joys  that  through  all  time  abide. 


In  the  cross  of  Christ  I  glory. 

Towering  o'er  the  wrecks  of  time ; 

All  the  light  of  sacred  story 

Gathers  round  its  head  sublime.

At  the  Foot 

2   Upon  that  cross  of  Jesus 

Mine  eye  at  times  can  see 
The  very  dying  form  of  One 

Who  suffered  there  for  me ; 
And  from  my  smitten  heart  with  tears 

Two  wonders  I  confess, — 
The  wonders  of  his  glorious  love 

And  my  un worthiness. 


of  the  Cross 

3   I  take,  O  cross,  thy  shadow 
For  my  abiding  place ; 
I  ask  no  other  sunshine  than 

The  sunshine  of  his  face, — 
Content  to  let  the  world  go  by, 

To  know  no  gain  nor  loss, 
My  sinful  self  my  only  shame. 
My  glory  all  the  cross.

2  Not  the  labors  of  my  hands 
Can  fulfil  thy  law's  demands : 
Could  my  zeal  no  respite  know, 
Could  my  tears  forever  flow, 
All  for  sin  could  not  atone ; 
Thou  must  save,  and  thou  alone. 


3   Nothing  in  my  hand  I  bring, 
Simply  to  thy  cross  I  cling ; 
Naked,  come  to  thee  for  dress, 
Helpless,  look  to  thee  for  grace, 
Foul,  I  to  the  fountain  fly  ; 
Wash  me.  Saviour,  or  I  die. 


4  While  I  draw  this  fleeting  breath, 
When  my  eyelids  close  in  death. 
When  I  soar  to  worlds  unknown, 
See  thee  on  thy  judgment  throne, —

Schbnster  Herr  Jesu 

2   Fair  are  the  meadows,  3   Fair  is  the  sunshine, 

Fairer  still  the  woodlands,  Fairer  still  the  moonlight. 

Robed  in  the  blooming  garb  of  spring ;  And  all  the  twinkling,  starry  host ; 
Jesus  is  fairer,  Jesus  shines  brighter, 

Jesus  is  purer,  Jesus  shines  purer 

Who  makes  the  woeful  heart  to  sing.  Than  all  the  angels  heaven  can  boast.

Yea,  all  I  need,  in  thee  to  find, 
O  Lamb  of  God,  I  come. 

Just  as  I  am,  thou  wilt  receive. 
Wilt  welcome,  pardon,  cleanse,  relieve; 
Because  thy  promise  I  believe,

Just  as  I  am,  —  thy  love  unknown 
Has  broken  every  barrier  down  ; 
Now  to  be  thine,  yea,  thine  alone, 
O  Lamb  of  God,  I  come.

2  O  let  me  feel  thee  near  me  ! 

The  world  is  ever  near; 
I  see  the  sights  that  dazzle, 

The  tempting  sounds  I  hear : 
My  foes  are  ever  near  me, 

Around  me  and  within  •, 
But,  Jesus,  draw  thou  nearer. 

And  shield  my  soul  from  sin. 

3  O  let  me  hear  thee  speaking 

In  accents  clear  and  still, 
Above  the  storms  of  passion, 
The  murmurs  of  self-will ! 


M<?,   Let  Him  Follow  Me 

O  speak  to  reassure  me, 

To  hasten  or  control ! 
O  speak  and  make  me  listen, 

Thou  Guardian  of  my  soul ! 

4   O  let  me  see  thy  foot-marks, 

And  in  them  plant  mine  own  ! 
My  hope  to  follow  duly 

Is  in  thy  strength  alone  : 
O  guide  me,  call  me,  draw  me. 

Uphold  me  to  the  end ; 
And  then  in  heaven  receive  me. 
My  Saviour  and  my  Friend  !

2  Here  I  can  firmly  rest 

I  dare  to  boast  of  this, — 
That  God  the  highest  and  the  best, 
My  friend  and  Father  is. 

3  His  Spirit,  in  my  breast 
Speaks  words  of  holy  cheer, — 

How  they  who  seek  in  God  their  rest 
Shall  ever  find  him  near. 


4  My  heart  for  gladness  springs, 
It  cannot  more  be  sad. 

For  very  joy  it  laughs  and  sings. 
Sees  naught  but  sunshine  glad. 

5  The  Sun  that  lights  mine  eyes, 
Is  Christ  the  Lord  I  love, 

I  sing  for  joy  of  that  which  lies 
Stored  up  for  me  above.

Christ  US  Der  1st  Mein  Leben 


1  For  me  to  live  is  Christ, 
To  die  is  endless  gain  ; 

For  him  I  gladly  bear  the  cross, 
And  welcome  grief  and  pain. 

2  A  pilgrimage  my  lot, 
My  home  is  in  the  skies ; 

I  nightly  pitch  my  tent  below. 
And  daily  higher  rise. 

3  I  fare  with  Christ  my  Lord, 
His  path  the  path  I  choose ; 

They  joy  who  suffer  most  with  him. 
They  win  who  with  him  lose. 


4  The  dawn  on  distant  hills 
Shines  o'er  the  vales  below  ; 

The  shadows  of  this  world  are  lost 
In  light  to  which  I  go. 

5  My  journey  soon  will  end, 
My  scrip  and  staff  laid  down  j 

O,  tempt  me  not  with  earthly  toys  ! 
I  go  to  wear  a  crown. 

6  Faithful  may  I  endure, 
And  hear  my  Saviour  say, 

Thrice  welcome  home,  beloved  child. 
Inherit  endless  day  !

By  permission  of  John  H.  Gower 


2   Thou  who  hast  trod  the  thorny  road  3   There  is  no  secret  sigh  we  breathe 
Wilt  share  each  small  distress  ;  But  meets  thine  ear  divine ; 

The  love  which  bore  the  greater  load  And  every  cross  grows  light  beneath 

Will  not  refuse  the  less.  The  shadow,  Lord,  of  thine. 

4  Life's  ill  without,  sin's  strife  within, — 
The  heart  would  overflow, 
But  for  that  love  which  died  for  sin. 
That  love  which  wept  with  woe.

Nor  can  the  memory  find  Nor  tongue  nor  pen  can  show  : 

A  sweeter  sound  than  thy  blest  name,  The  love  of  Jesus,  what  it  is 

O  Saviour  of  mankind.  None  but  his  loved  ones  know.

O  joy  of  all  the  meek. 
To  those  who  fall,  how  kind  thou  art ! 
How  good  to  those  who  seek !

As  thou  our  prize  wilt  be ;

*  The  Name  of  Jesus ' 


1  How  sweet  the  name  of  Jesus  sounds 

In  a  believer's  ear  ! 
It  soothes  his  sorrows,  heals  his  wounds. 
And  drives  away  his  fear. 

2  It  makes  the  wounded  spirit  whole. 

And  calms  the  troubled  breast  j 
'Tis  manna  to  the  hungry  soul. 
And  to  the  weary  rest. 


3  Jesus,  my  Shepherd,  Brother,  Friend, 

My  Prophet,  Priest,  and  King, 
My  Lord,  my  Life,  my  Way,  my  End, 
Accept  the  praise  I  bring. 

4  Weak  is  the  effort  of  my  heart. 

And  cold  my  warmest  thought. 
But  when  I  see  thee  as  thou  art, 
I'll  praise  thee  as  I  ought. 


5   Till  then  I  would  thy  love  proclaim 
With  every  fleeting  breath  ; 
And  may  the  music  of  thy  name 
Refresh  my  soul  in  death.

1   Though  like  the  wanderer, 
The  sun  gone  down, 
Darkness  be  over  me. 

My  rest  a  stone, 
Yet  in  my  dreams  I'd  be, 
Nearer,  my  God,  to  thee, 
Nearer  to  thee. 

3  There  let  the  way  appear 
Steps  unto  heaven; 
All  that  thou  sendest  me 

In  mercy  given; 
Angels  to  beckon  me 
Nearer,  my  God,  to  thee, 
Nearer  to  thee. 


4  Then,  with  my  waking  thoughts 

Bright  with  thy  praise. 
Out  of  my  stony  griefs 

Bethel  I'll  raise; 
So  by  my  woes  to  be 
Nearer,  my  God,  to  thee. 

Nearer  to  thee. 

5  Or  if  on  joyful  wing 

Cleaving  the  sky. 
Sun,  moon,  and  stars  forgot. 

Upwards  I  fly. 
Still  all  my  song  shall  be. 
Nearer,  my  God,  to  thee. 

Nearer  to  thee!

2  *  Fear  not,  I  am  with  thee,  O  be  not  dismayed; 
For  I  am  thy  God,  I  will  still  give  thee  aid: 

I'll  strengthen  thee,  help  thee,  and  cause  thee  to  stand. 
Upheld  by  my  righteous,  omnipotent  hand. 

3  '  When  through  the  deep  waters  I  call  thee  to  go, 
The  rivers  of  sorrow  shall  not  overflow; 

For  I  will  be  near  thee  thy  troubles  to  bless. 
And  sanctify  to  thee  thy  deepest  distress. 

4  '  When  through  fiery  trials  thy  pathway  shall  lie. 
My  grace  all-sufficient  shall  be  thy  supply; 

The  flame  shall  not  hurt  thee;   I  only  design 
Thy  dross  to  consume,  and  thy  gold  to  refine. 

5  *  The  soul  that  on  Jesus  hath  leaned  for  repose, 
I  will  not,  I  will  not  desert  to  his  foes: 

That  soul,  though  all  hell  should  endeavor  to  shake, 
I'll  never,  no,  never,  no,  never  forsake.'

The  Cure  of  Sorrow 

2  Joy  of  the  comfortless,  light  of  the  straying, 

Hope  of  the  penitent,  fadeless  and  pure! 
Here  speaks  the  Comforter,  tenderly  saying, 

'  Earth  has  no  sorrows  that  heaven  cannot  cure.' 

3  Here  see  the  Bread  of  Life;  see  waters  flowing 

Forth  from  the  throne  of  God,  pure  from  above: 
Come  to  the  feast  prepared;  come,  ever  knowing 
Earth  has  no  sorrows  but  heaven  can  remove.

Let  us,  like  them,  without  a  word.

O  calm  of  hills  above  ! 
Where  Jesus  knelt  to  share  with  thee

4  Drop  thy  still  dews  of  quietness. 

Till  all  our  strivings  cease ; 
Take  from  our  souls  the  strain  and  stress, 
And  let  our  ordered  lives  confess 

The  beauty  of  thy  peace. 

5  Breathe  through  the  heats  of  our  desire 

Thy  coolness  and  thy  balm ; 
Let  sense  be  dumb,  let  flesh  retire: 
Speak  through  the  earthquake,  wind,  and  fire,

2  Lead  us,  O  Father,  in  the  paths  of  truth ; 

Unhelped  by  thee,  in  error's  maze  we  grope. 
While  passion  stains  and  folly  dims  our  youth. 
And  age  comes  on  uncheered  by  faith  or  hope. 

3  Lead  us,  O  Father,  in  the  paths  of  right ; 

Blindly  we  stumble  when  we  walk  alone. 
Involved  in  shadows  of  a  moral  night ; 
Only  with  thee  we  journey  safely  on. 

4  Lead  us,  O  Father,  to  thy  heavenly  rest, 

However  rough  and  steep  the  pathway  be. 
Through  joy  or  sorrow,  as  thou  deemest  best. 
Until  our  lives  are  perfected  in  thee.

Going  About   'Doing   Good 

2  Help  me  the  slow  of  heart  to  move     3  Teach  me  thy  patience  ;   still  with  thee 
By  some  clear,  winning  word  of  love,       In  closer,  dearer  company, 
Teach  me  the  wayward  feet  to  stay,      In  work  that  keeps  faith  sweet  and  strong, 
And  guide  them  in  the  homeward  way.    In  trust  that  triumphs  over  wrong, 

4  In  hope  that  sends  a  shining  ray 

Far  down  the  future's  broadening  way. 
In  peace  that  only  thou  canst  give, — 
With  thee,  O  Master,  let  me  live.

We  Work  with   Thee 

2  Strong  Son  of   God,  whose  work  was  His  that  sent  thee. 

One  with  the  Father,  thought  and  deed  and  word, 
One  make  us  all,  true  comrades  in  thy  service. 
And  make  us  one  in  thee  with  God  the  Lord. 

3  O  Son  of  Man,  of  all  the  world  Redeemer, 

Who  for  our  sakes  didst  hang  upon  the  tree. 
Thou  bearest  yet  man's  weight  of  sin  and  sorrow; 
Help  us  to  take  thy  cross  and  share  with  thee. 

4  O  Prince  of  peace,  thou  bringer  of  good  tidings, 

Teach  us  to  speak  thy  word  of  hope  and  cheer, — 
Rest  for  the  soul,  and  strength  for  all  man's  striving, 
Light  for  the  path  of  life,  and  God  brought  near. 

5  Lord  God,  whose  grace  has  called  us  to  thy  service, 

How  good  thy  thoughts  toward  us,  how  great  their  sum! 
We  work  with  thee.     We  go  where  thou  wilt  lead  us. 
Until  in  all  the  earth  thy  kingdom  come.

Wherein  thou  mayest  be  sought ;  In  all  we  do  and  know ;

In  truth  and  patience  wrought.  For  thee  and  not  thy  foe. 

Thine  is  the  loom,  the  forge,  the  mart.      Work  shall  be  prayer, if  all  be  wrought

Through  God's  good  grace, 

Lift  up  thine  eyes,  and  seek  his  face  ; 
Life  with  its  way  before  us  lies, 
Christ  is  the  path,  and  Christ  the  prize. 

3  Cast  care  aside.

'  Holy  Fortitude ' 

2  Must  I  be  carried  to  the  skies  Is  this  vile  world  a  friend  to  grace. 

On  flowery  beds  of  ease.  To  help  me  on  to  God  } 

While  others  fought  to  win  the  prize,  4  Sure  I  must  fight  if  I  would  reign  : 
And  sailed  through  bloody  seas  ?  Increase  mv  courage.  Lord  ! 

3  Are  there  no  foes  for  me  to  face  ?  I'll  bear  the  toil,  endure  the  pain.

2  Lead  on,  O  King  Eternal, 

Till  sin's  fierce  war  shall  cease, 
And  holiness  shall  whisper 

The  sweet  Amen  of  peace  ; 
For  not  with  swords,  loud  clashing, 

Nor  roll  of  stirring  drums. 
But  deeds  of  love  and  mercy, 

The  heavenly  kingdom  comes. 


3   Lead  on,  O  King  Eternal  : 
We  follow,  not  with  fears, 
For  gladness  breaks  like  morning 

Where'er  thy  face  appears  : 
Thy  cross  is  lifted  o'er  us ; 
We  journey  in  its  light ; 
The  crown  awaits  the  conquest ; 
Lead  on,  O  God  of  might.

T/z^  Noble  Army 

2  The  martyr  first,  whose  eagle  eye 

Could  pierce  beyond  the  grave. 
Who  saw  his  Master  in  the  sky. 

And  called  on  him  to  save ; 
Like  him,  with  pardon  on  his  tongue 

In  midst  of  mortal  pain. 
He  prayed  for  them  that  did  the  wrong: 

Who  follows  in  his  train  ? 

3  A  glorious  band,  the  chosen  few 

On  whom  the  Spirit  came,  [knew. 
Twelve  valiant  saints,  their  hope  they 
And  mocked  the  cross  and  flame; 


of  Martyrs 

They  met  thetyrant's  brandished  steel, 
The  lion's  gory  mane  ;  [feel : 

They  bowed  their  necks  the  death  to 
Who  follows  in  their  train  ? 

A  noble  army,  men  and  boys, 

The  matron  and  the  maid, 
Around  the  Saviour's  throne  rejoice. 

In  robes  of  light  arrayed  :   [heaven 
They   climbed    the    steep    ascent  of 

Through  peril,  toil  and  pain  : 
O  God,  to  us  may  grace  be  given 

To  follow  in  their  train.

2  Like  a  mighty  army 

Moves  the  Church  of  God  : 
Brothers,  w^e  are  treading 

Where  the  saints  have  trod  : 
We  are  not  divided, 

All  one  body  we, 
One  in  hope,  in  doctrine. 

One  in  charity. 

3  Crowns  and  thrones  may  perish, 

Kingdoms  rise  and  wane,  , 
But  the  Church  of  Jesus 
Constant  will  remain; 


Gates  of  hell  can  never 

'Gainst  that  Church  prevail ; 

We  have  Christ's  own  promise, 
And  that  cannot  fail. 

4  Onward,  then,  ye  people. 
Join  our  happy  throng, 
Blend  with  ours  your  voices 

In  the  triumph-song, — 
*  Glory,  laud,  and  honor 

Unto  Christ  the  King  I ' 
This  through  countless  ages 
Men  and  angels  sing.

Our  striving  would  be  losing, 
Were  not  the  right  man  on  our  side. 

The  man  of  God's  own  choosing. 
Dost  ask  who  that  may  be  ? 
Christ  Jesus,  it  is  he. 
Lord  Sabaoth  his  name, 
From  age  to  age  the  same, 

And  he  must  win  the  battle. 


Should  threaten  to  undo  us  ; 
We  will  not  fear,  for  God  hath  willed 

His  truth  to  triumph  through  us. 
The  prince  of  darkness  grim, — 
We  tremble  not  for  him ; 
His  rage  we  can  endure. 
For  lo  !   his  doom  is  sure, 

One  little  word  shall  fell  him. 


4  That  word  above  all  earthly  powers. 
No  thanks  to  them,  abideth ; 
The  Spirit  and  the  gifts  are  ours 
Through  him  who  with  us  sideth. 
Let  goods  and  kindred  go, 
This  mortal  life  also ; 
The  body  they  may  kill : 
God's  truth  abideth  still. 
His  kingdom  is  forever.

*  Faith  of  Our  Fathers  * 

2   Our  fathers,  chained  in  prisons  dark, 

Were  still  in  heart  and  conscience  free, 

And  blest  would  be  their  children's  fate, 

Though  they,  like  them,  should  die  for  thee ; 

Faith  of  our  fathers,  holy  faith, 

We  will  be  true  to  thee  till  death. 

(3)  Faith  of  our  fathers,  God's  great  power 
Shall  win  all  nations  unto  thee ; 
And  through  the  truth  that  comes  from  God, 

Mankind  shall  then  indeed  be  free  : 
Faith  of  our  fathers,  holy  faith. 
We  will  be  true  to  thee  till  death. 

4  Faith  of  our  fathers,  we  will  love 

Both  friend  and  foe  in  all  our  strife. 

And  preach  thee  too,  as  love  knows  how. 
By  kindly  words  and  virtuous  life  : 

Faith  of  our  fathers,  holy  faith. 

We  will  be  true  to  thee  till  death.

One  Family  in  Heaven  and  Earth 


2  One  family  we  dwell  in  him, 
One  church,  above,  beneath, 
Though  now  divided  by  the  stream, 
The  narrow  stream  of  death. 


4  E'en  now  by  faith  we  join  our  hands 
With  those  that  went  before. 

And  greet  the  ransomed,  shining  bands 
Upon  the  eternal  shore. 

5  Lord  Jesus,  be  our  constant  guide ; 
And,  when  the  word  is  given. 

Part  of  the  host  have  crossed  the  flood,       Bid  Jordan's  narrow  stream  divide. 
And  part  are  crossing  now.  And  bring  us  safe  to  heaven.

Dear  as  the  apple  of  thine  eye,  Her  sweet  communion,  solemn  vows, 

And  graven  on  thy  hand.  Her  hymns  of  love  and  praise. 


3   For  her  my  tears  shall  fall, 
For  her  my  prayers  ascend. 

To  her  my  cares  and  toils  be  given 
Till  toils  and  cares  shall  end. 


5  Sure  as  thy  truth  shall  last, 

To  Zion  shall  be  given 
The  brightest  glories  earth  can  yield, 

And  brighter  bliss  of  heaven.

'■Love  of  the  Brethren  ' 

I    Blest  be  the  tie  that  oinds  4  When  we  are  called  to  part 

Our  hearts  in  Christian  love ;  It  gives  us  inward  pain, 

The  fellowship  of  kindred  minds  But  we  shall  still  be  joined  in  heart, 

Is  like  to  that  above.  And  hope  to  meet  again. 


2  Before  our  Father's  throne 
We  pour  our  ardent  prayers ; 

Our  fears,  our  hopes,  our  aims  are  one. 
Our  comforts  and  our  cares. 

3  We  share  each  other's  woes, 
Each  other's  burdens  bear. 

And  often  for  each  other  flows 
The  sympathizing  tear. 


5  This  glorious  hope  revives 
Our  courage  by  the  way. 

While  each  in  expectation  lives. 
And  longs  to  see  the  day. 

6  From  sorrow,  toil  and  pain. 
And  sin,  we  shall  be  free. 

And  perfect  love  and  friendship  reign 
Through  all  eternity.

To  whom  the  power  is  given, 
Of  every  hearth  to  make  a  home, 

Ot  every  home  a  heaven. 
O  mighty  host !  no  tongue  can  tell 

The  numbers  of  its  throng  ; 
No  words  can  sound  the  music  vast 

Of  its  grand  battle  song. 


From  step  to  step  it  wins  its  way 

Against  the  hosts  of  sm  ; 
Part  of  the  battlefield  is  won, 

And  part  is  yet  to  win. 
Then  join  with  faithful  heart  and  strong, 

And  bravely  onward  go  ; 

The  triumphs  that  await  us  yet 

Are  greater  than  we  know.

I    I  hunger  and  I  thirst, 
Jesus,  my  manna  be, 
Ye  living  waters  burst 
Out  of  the  rock  for  me 


2  Thou  bruised  and  broken  Bread, 
My  life-long  wants  supply  ; 
As  living  souls  are  fed, 
O  feed  me,  or  I  die ! 


3  Thou  true  life-giving  Vine, 
Let  me  thy  sweetness  prove, 

Renew  my  life  with  thine. 
Refresh  my  soul  with  love. 

4  Rough  paths  my  feet  have  trod 
Since  first  their  course  began; 

Feed  me,  thou  Bread  of  God  ; 
Help  me,  thou  Son  of  Man. 

5   For  still  the  desert  lies 

My  thirsting  soul  before ; 
O  living  waters,  rise 
Within  me  evermore !

We  keep  the  memory  adored. 

And  show  the  death  of  our  dear  Lord 
Until  he  come. 

2  His  body  broken  in  our  stead 
Is  here  in  this  memorial  bread. 
And  so  our  feeble  love  is  fed 

Until  he  come. 

3  His  fearful  drops  of  agony. 

His  life-blood  shed  for  us  we  see ; 


The  wine  shall  tell  the  mystery 
Until  he  come. 

4  And  thus  that  dark  betrayal  night 
With  the  last  advent  we  unite. 
By  one  blest  chain  of  loving  rite, 

Until  he  come. 

5  O  blessed  hope  !  with  this  elate, 
Let  not  our  hearts  be  desolate. 

But,  strong  in  faith,  in  patience  wait 
Until  he  come.

The  Morning  Light  is  Breaking 


2  See  heathen  nations  bending 

Before  the  God  we  love, 
And  thousand  hearts  ascending 

In  gratitude  above  ; 
While  sinners,  now  confessing, 

The  gospel  call  obey. 
And  seek  the  Saviour's  blessing, 

A  nation  in  a  day. 


3   Blest  river  of  salvation. 

Pursue  thy  onward  way  ; 
Flow  thou  to  every  nation. 

Nor  in  thy  richness  stay  ; 
Stay  not  till  all  the  lowly 

Triumphant  reach  their  home ; 
Stay  not  till  all  the  holy 

Proclaim,  The  Lord  is  come  1

2  Light  of  the  world,  thy  beauty 

Steals  into  every  heart, 
And  glorifies  with  duty 

Life's  poorest,  humblest  part ; 
Thou  robest  in  thy  splendor 

The  simple  ways  of  men, 
And  helpest  them  to  render 

Light  back  to  thee  again.

3   Light  of  the  world,  illumine 

This  darkened  earth  of  thine. 
Till  everything  that's  human 

Be  filled  with  the  divine ; 
Till  every  tongue  and  nation. 

From  sin's  dominion  free. 
Rise  in  the  new  creation 

Which  springs  from  love  and  thee.

^Prepare  the  Way  of  the  Lord* 

2   Behold  how  many  thousands  still  are  lying 

Bound  in  the  darksome  prison-house  of  sin^ 
With  none  to  tell  them  of  the  Saviour's  dying. 
Or  of  the  life  he  died  for  them  to  win  ! 

(3)'Tis  thine  to  save  from  peril  of  perdition 

The  souls  for  whom  the  Lord  his  life  laid  down ; 
Beware  lest,  slothful  to  fulfill  thy  mission, 

Thou  lose  one  jewel  that  should  deck  his  crown. 

4  Give  of  thy  sons  to  bear  the  message  glorious, 

.    Give  of  thy  wealth  to  speed  them  on  their  way. 
Pour  out  thy  soul  for  them  in  prayer  victorious ; 
And  all  thou  spendest  Jesus  will  repay. 

5  He  comes  again  :   O  Zion,  ere  thou  meet  him. 

Make  known  to  every  heart  his  saving  grace ; 
Let  none  whom  he  hath  ransomed  fail  to  greet  him. 
Through  thy  neglect,  unfit  to  see  his  face.

And  all  the  sons  of  want  are  blest.

2  Hail  to  the  brightness  of  Zion's  glad  morning. 

Long  by  the  prophets  of  Israel  foretold  ! 
Hail  to  the  millions  from  bondage  returning ! 
Gentiles  and  Jews  the  blest  vision  behold. 

3  Lo  !   in  the  desert  rich  flowers  are  springing, 

Streams  ever  copious  are  gliding  along, 
Loud  from  the  mountain-tops  echoes  are  ringing. 
Wastes  rise  in  verdure,  and  mingle  in  song. 

4  See  !   from  all  lands,  from  the  isles  of  the  ocean, 

Praise  to  Jehovah  ascending  on  high ; 
Fallen  are  the  engines  of  war  and  commotion. 
Shouts  of  salvation  are  rending  the  sky. 

Thomas  Hastings,  1831

1  Ye  Christian  heralds,  go  proclaim 
Salvation  through  Emmanuel's  Name  ; 
To  distant  climes  the  tidings  bear. 
And  plant  the  Rose  of  Sharon  there. 

2  God  shield  you  with  a  wall  of  fire, 
With  flaming  zeal  your  breasts  inspire. 


L.  M. 

Bid  raging  winds  their  fury  cease. 
And  hush  the  tempests  into  peace. 

3   And  when  our  labors  all  are  o'er. 
Then  we  shall  meet  to  part  no  more. 
Meet  with  the  blood-bought  throng  to  fall. 
And  crown  our  Jesus  Lord  of  all.

Love  shall  be  the  lord  of  all 

In  the  glad  new  time  ; 
From  the  mountains  shall  descend 
Hearts  of  old  that  could  not  bend,     4 
And  the  poor  shall  have  a  friend

In  the  glad  new  time  ; 
We  shall  bear  the  cross  of  God 
In  the  glad  new  time  j 


We  shall  seek  the  valleys  deep 
Where  the  weary  strive  or  sleep, 
And  convey  them  up  the  steep 
To  the  glad  new  time. 

There  shall  be  a  joy  in  heaven 

In  the  glad  new  time  ; 
And  God's  resting  shall  be  given 

In  the  glad  new  time  : 

For  his  Sabbath  shall  be  found 

When  the  skies  have  touched  the  ground, 

And  the  valleys  shall  resound 

With  the  glad  new  time.

Christ  in  the  City 

2  In  haunts  of  wretchedness  and  need,    Yet  long  these  multitudes  to  see 
On  shadowed  thresholds  dark  with  fears,      The  sweet  compassion  of  thy  face. 

From  paths  where  hide  the  lures  of  greed,  ^  q  y^^^^^,^  f^om  the  mountain  side, 
We  catch  the  vision  of  thy  tears.  ^^^^   ^^^^^   ^^   l^^^l    ^^^^^  ^^^^^^  ^^ 

3  From  tender  childhood's  helplessness,  pain ; 

From  woman's  grief,  man's  burdened  Among  these  restless  throngs  abide, 
toil,  O  tread  the  city's  streets  again ; 

From  famished  souls,from  sorrow's  stress,  5  ^ju  ^^^^  ^f  ^^^  ^^all  learn  thy  love, 
Thy  heart  has  never  known  recoil.  ^^^  f^j^^^  ^1^^^.^  ^^^  ^^^^  ^^^^  ^^^j . 

4  The  cup  of  water  given  for  thee  Till  glorious  from  thy  heaven  above. 
Still  holds  the  freshness  of  thy  grace  j      Shall  come  the  City  of  our  God.

00         HOSMER     P.  M.     <■  Battle-Hymn  of  the  Re-public  ' 

1  Mine  eyes  have  seen  the  glory  of  the  coming  of  the  Lord  : 

He  is  trampling  out  th^  vintage  where  the  grapes  of  wrath  are  stored  ; 
He  hath  loosed  the  fateful  lightning  of  his  terrible  swift  sword ; 
His  truth  is  marchino-  on. 

D 

2  He  hath  sounded  forth  the  trumpet  that  shall  never  call  retreat; 
He  is  sifting  out  the  hearts  of  men  before  his  judgment  seat : 
O,  be  swift,  my  soul,  to  answer  him  !  be  jubilant,  my  feet! 

Our  God  is  marching  on. 

3  In  the  beauty  of  the  lilies  Christ  was  born,  across  the  sea, 
With  a  glory  in  his  bosom  that  transfigures  you  and  me  : 
As  he  died  to  make  men  holy,  let  us  live  to  make  men  free, 

While  God  is  marching  on.

Land  of  the  noble  free, 

Thy  name  I  love ;

Thy  woods  and  templed  hills  ; 
My  heart  vi^ith  rapture  thrills 

Like  that  above.

And  ring  from  all  the  trees 

Sweet  freedom's  song : 
Let  mortal  tongues  awake, 


of  Liberty 

Let  all  that  breathe  partake. 
Let  rocks  their  silence  break, 
The  sound  prolong. 

4   Our  fathers'  God,  to  thee. 
Author  of  liberty. 

To  thee  we  sing  : 
Long  may  our  land  be  bright 
With  freedom's  holy  light ; 
Protect  us  by  thy  might, 
Great  God,  our  King.

God  bless  our  native  land; 
Firm  may  she  ever  stand 

Through  storm  and  night : 
When  the  wild  tempests  rave, 
Ruler  of  wind  and  wave. 
Thou  who  art  strong  to  save, 

Be  thou  her  might ! 


May  all  her  pathways  be 
Highways  of  Liberty, 

P'rom  shore  to  shore  \ 
Justice  sit  throned  in  her. 
Truth  rise  new-crowned  in  her, 
Good-will  abound  in  her, 

For  evermore !

1  What  rush  of  alleluias 

Fills  all  the  earth  and  sky  ! 
What  ringing  of  a  thousand  harps 

Bespeaks  the  triumph  nigh  ! 
O  day,  for  which  creation 

And  all  its  tribes  were  made ! 
O  joy,  for  all  its  former  woes, 

A  thousandfold  repaid ! 

3   O  then  what  raptured  greetings 
On  Canaan's  happy  shore  ! 
What  knitting  severed  friendships  up. 
Where  partings  are  no  more ! 


Then  eyes  with  joy  shall  sparkle, 
That  brimmed  with  tears  of  late. 

Orphans  no  longer  fatherless, 
Nor  widows  desolate. 

4   Bring  near  thy  great  salvation. 
Thou  Lamb  for  sinners  slain  ; 
Fill  up  the  roll  of  thine  elect. 

Then  take  thy  power  and  reign ; 
Appear,  Desire  of  nations. 

Thine  exiles  long  for  home ; 
Show  in  the  heavens  thy  promised  sign, 
Thou  Prince  and  Saviour,  come  !

Ready  burning 
Be  the  incense  of  thy  powers  ; 
For  the  night  is  safely  ended  : 

God  hath  tended 
With  his  care  thy  helpless  hours. 

3  Pray  that  he  may  prosper  ever 

Each  endeavor. 
When  thine  arm  is  good  and  true ; 
But  that  he  may  ever  thwart  thee, 

And  convert  thee, 
When  thou  evil  wouldst  pursue.

4  Think  that  he  thy  ways  beholdeth ; 

He  unfoldeth 
Every  fault  that  lurks  within  ; 
Every  stain  of  shame  glossed  over 

Can  discover. 
And  discern  each  deed  of  sin. 

5  Only  God's  free  gifts  abuse  not, 
V  Light  refuse  not. 

But  his  Spirit's  voice  obev  ; 

Thou  with  him  shalt  dwell,  beholding 

Light  enfolding 
All  things  in  unclouded  day.

Abide  with    Us  for  It  is  toward  Evening 

2  Swift  to  its  close  ebbs  out  life's  little  day ; 
Earth's  joys  grow  dim,  its  glories  pass  away  ; 
Change  and  decay  in  all  around  I  see  ; 

0  thou  who  changest  not,  abide  with  me  ! 

3  I  need  thy  presence  every  passing  hour  ; 

What  but  thy  grace  can  foil  the  tempter's  power  ? 
Who  like  thyself  my  guide  and  stay  can  be  ? 
Through  cloud  and  sunshine,  O,  abide  with  me  ! 

4  I  fear  no  foe,  with  thee  at  hand  to  bless  ; 
Ills  have  no  weight,  and  tears  no  bitterness  : 
Where  is  death's  sting  ?   where,  grave,  thy  victory  ? 

1  triumph  still  if  thou  abide  with  me. 

5  Hold  thou  thy  cross  before  my  closing  eyes. 

Shine  through  the  gloom,  and  point  me  to  the  skies  : 
Heaven's  morning  breaks,  and  earth's  vain  shadows  flee ; 
In  life  and  death,  O  Lord,  abide  with  me  !

To  the  fold  of  thy  embrace, 

For  thou  art  nigh.

Pass  the  stars,  the  day,  the  night,

The  Whole  Creation  Summoned  to  Praise 

Psalms  148.  149.  150 

PRAISE  ye  the  Lord.     Praise  ye  the  Lord  from  the  heavens: 
Praise  him  in  the  heights. 
Praise  ye  him,  all  his  angels: 

Praise  ye  him,  all  his  host. 
Praise  ye  him,  sun  and  moon : 

Praise  him,  all  ye  stars  of  light. 
Praise  him,  ye  heavens  of  heavens. 

And  ye  waters  that  be  above  the  heavens. 
Let  them  praise  the  name  of  the  Lord: 

For  he  commanded,  and  they  were  created. 
He  hath  also  established  them  for  ever  and  ever: 

He  hath  made  a  decree  which  shall  not  pass  away. 

Praise  the  Lord  from  the  earth,  — 

Ye  dragons  and  all  deeps: 
Fire  and  hail,  snow  and  vapor;  Stormy  wind  fulfilling  his  word: 

Mountains  and  all  hills;     Fruitful  trees  and  all  cedars: 
Beasts  and  all  cattle; 

Creeping  things  and  flying  fowl : 
Kings  of  the  earth  and  all  peoples; 

Princes  and  all  judges  of  the  earth: 
Both  young  men  and  maidens;  Old  men  and  children: 

Let  them  praise  the  name  of  the  Lord : 
For  his  name  alone  is  exalted; 

His  glory  is  above  the  earth  and  heaven. 
Praise  ye  the  Lord. 

Praise  ye  the  Lord.     Sing  unto  the  Lord  a  new  song, 

And  his  praise  in  the  assembly  of  the  saints. 
Let  Israel  rejoice  in  him  that  made  him: 

Let  the  children  of  Zion  be  joyful  in  their  King. 
For  the  Lord  taketh  pleasure  in  his  people:

Man  Frail^  God  Eternal 

Psalms  39.  102 

LORD,  make  me  to  know  mine  end, 
And  the  measure  of  my  days,  what  it  is; 
Let  me  know  how  frail  I  am. 

My  days  are  like  a  shadow  that  declineth; 

And  I  am  withered  like  grass. 
But  thou,  O  Lord,  dost  abide  for  ever; 

Thy  years  are  throughout  all  generations. 
Of  old  didst  thou  lay  the  foundation  of  the  earth; 

And  the  heavens  are  the  work  of  thy  hands. 
They  shall  perish,  but  thou  shalt  endure; 

Yea,  all  of  them  shall  wax  old  like  a  garment; 
As  a  vesture  shalt  thou  change  them, 
And  they  shall  be  changed. 

But  thou  art  the  same, 

And  thy  years  shall  have  no  end. 
Behold,  thou  hast  made  my  days  as  hand-breadths; 

And  my  lifetime  is  as  nothing  before  thee. 
Surely  man,  at  his  best  estate,  is  but  a  breath: 

Surely  he  goeth  about  in  a  vain  show; 
He  disquieteth  himself  in  vain: 

He  heapeth  up,  and  knoweth  not  who  shall  gather. 
And  now.  Lord,  what  wait  1  for? 
My  hope  is  in  thee. 

O  my  God,  take  me  not  away  in  the  midst  of  my  days. 
When  thou  with  rebukes  dost  chasten  man  for  sin. 
Thou  makest  his  beauty  to  consume  away  like  a  moth. 

Surely  man  is  but  a  breath. 
Hear  my  prayer,  O  Lord, 

And  give  ear  unto  my  cry: 
Consider  and  answer  me,  O  Lord  my  God : 

Lighten  mine  eyes,  lest  I  sleep  the  sleep  of  death : 
For  I  am  but  a  guest  with  thee, 
A  sojourner,  as  all  my  fathers  were. 

O  spare  me,  that  I  may  recover  strength, 

Before  I  go  hence,  and  be  no  more.

The  Starry  Heavens  and  the  Moral  Law 

Psalm  19 

^  I  '*HE  heavens  declare  the  glory  of  God; 

-^     And  the  firmament  showeth  his  handiwork. 
Day  unto  day  uttereth  speech, 

And  night  unto  night  showeth  knowledge. 
There  is  no  speech  nor  language; 

Their  voice  is  not  heard. 
Their  line  is  gone  out  through  all  the  earth, 

And  their  words  to  the  end  of  the  world. 
In  them  hath  he  set  a  tabernacle  for  the  sun, 

Which  is  as  a  bridegroom  coming  out  of  his  chamber} 
And  rejoiceth  as  a  strong  man  to  run  his  course. 

His  going  forth  is  from  the  end  of  the  heavens, 
And  his  circuit  unto  the  ends  of  it; 

And  there  is  nothing  hid  from  the  heat  thereof. 

The  law  of  the  Lord  is  perfect,  restoring  the  soul: 

The  testimony  of  the  Lord  is  sure,  making  wise  the  simple. 
The  precepts  of  the  Lord  are  right,  rejoicing  the  heart: 

The  commandment  of  the  Lord  is  pure,  enlightening  the  eyes. 
The  fear  of  the  Lord  is  clean,  enduring  for  ever: 

The  ordinances  of  the  Lord  are  true,  and  righteous  altogether. 
More  to  be  desired  are  they  than  gold. 
Yea,  than  much  fine  gold; 

Sweeter  also  than  honey 

And  the  droppings  of  the  honeycomb. 
Moreover  by  them  is  thy  servant  warned: 

In  keeping  them  there  is  great  reward. 
Who  can  discern  his  errors? 

Clear  thou  me  from  hidden  faults. 
Keep  back  thy  servant  also  from  presumptuous  sins; 
Let  them  not  have  dominion  over  me: 

Then  shall  I  be  upright. 

And  I  shall  be  clear  from  great  transgressions. 
Let  the  words  of  my  mouth, 
And  the  meditation  of  my  heart 
Be  acceptable  in  thy  sight, 
O  Lord,  my  rock,  and  my  redeemer.

God  Ever  Present  and  All-Knowing 

Psalm  139 

OLORD,  thou  hast  searched  me,  and  known  me: 
Thou  knowest  my  downsitting  and  mine  uprising; 

Thou  understandest  my  thought  afar  off. 
Thou  searchest  out  my  path  and  my  lying  down. 

And  art  acquainted  with  all  my  ways. 
For  there  is  not  a  word  in  my  tongue. 

But,  lo,  O  Lord,  thou  knowest  it  altogether. 
Thou  hast  beset  me  behind  and  before, 

And  laid  thy  hand  upon  me. 
Such  knowledge  is  too  wonderful  for  me; 

It  is  high,  I  cannot  attain  unto  it. 

Whither  shall  1  go  from  thy  Spirit? 

Or  whither  shall  I  flee  from  thy  presence? 
If  I  ascend  up  into  heaven,  thou  art  there: 

If  I  make  my  bed  in  Sheol,  behold,  thou  art  there. 
If  1  take  the  wings  of  the  morning,  And  dwell  in  the  uttermost  parts  of  the  sea: 

Even  there  shall  thy  hand  lead  me.     And  thy  right  hand  shall  hold  me. 
If  I  say,  Surely  the  darkness  shall  cover  me. 
And  the  light  about  me  shall  be  night; 

Even  the  darkness  hideth  not  from  thee, 
But  the  night  shineth  as  the  day: 

The  darkness  and  the  light  are  both  alike  to  thee. 

For  thou  didst  create  mine  inmost  being. 
And  knit  me  together  ere  I  was  born. 

My  frame  was  not  hidden  from  thee,  when  I  was  made  in  secret : 
Thine  eyes  did  see  mine  unformed  substance: 

And  in  thy  book  were  written  all  my  days  yet  to  be. 
I  will  give  thanks  unto  thee,  for  I  am  fearfully  and  wonderfully  made: 

Wonderful  are  thy  works,  and  that  my  soul  knoweth  right  well. 

How  precious  also  are  thy  thoughts  unto  me,  O  God! 

How  great  is  the  sum  of  them! 
If  I  should  count  them,  they  are  more  in  number  than  the  sand: 

When  I  awake,  I  am  still  with  thee. 
Search  me,  O  God,  and  know  my  heart : 

Try  me,  and  know  my  thoughts 
And  see  if  there  be  any  wicked  way  in  me. 
And  lead  me  in  the  way  everlasting.

My  soul  thirsteth  for  God,  for  the  living  God : 
When  shall  I  come  and  appear  before  God? 
My  tears  have  been  my  food  day  and  night, 

While  they  continually  say  unto  me,  Where  is  thy  God?

How  I  went  with  the  throng,  and  led  them  to  the  house  of  God, 
With  the  voice  of  joy  and  praise,  a  multitude  keeping  holyday.

Guide  me  in  thy  truth,  and  teach  me ;

Remember  not  the  sins  of  my  youth,  nor  my  transgressions:

Unto  such  as  keep  his  covenant  and  his  testimonies.

Pardon  mine  iniquity,  for  it  is  great. 
What  man  is  he  that  feareth  the  Lord? 
Him  shall  he  instruct  in  the  way  that  he  shall  choose. 

His  soul  shall  dwell  at  ease ;    And  his  seed  shall  inherit  the  land.

And  he  will  show  them  his  covenant.

In  thy  righteousness  bring  my  soul  out  of  trouble.

Let  me  not  be  put  to  shame,  for  I  take  refuge  in  thee. 

Let  integrity  and  uprightness  preserve  me.    For  I  wait  for  thee. 
Cause  me  to  hear  thy  lovingkindness  in  the  morning;     For  in  thee  do  I  trust: 

Cause  me  to  know  the  way  wherein  I  should  walk; 

For  I  lift  up  my  soul  unto  thee.

A  Prayer  for  Forgiveness  and  Renewal 

Psalm  51 

HAVE  mercy  upon  me,  O  God, 
According  to  thy  lovingkindness: 

According  to  the  multitude  of  thy  tender  mercies 

Blot  out  my  transgressions. 
Wash  me  thoroughly  from  mine  iniquity. 
And  cleanse  me  from  my  sin. 

For  I  acknowledge  my  transgressions ; 

And  my  sin  is  ever  before  me. 
Against  thee,  thee  only,  have  1  sinned. 

And  done  that  which  is  evil  in  thy  sight. 
That  thou  mayest  be  justified  when  thou  speakest. 

And  be  clear  when  thou  judgest. 

Behold,  thou  desirest  truth  in  the  inward  parts; 

In  the  hidden  part  thou  wilt  make  me  to  know  wisdom. 
Purify  me  with  hyssop,  and  I  shall  be  clean: 

Wash  me,  and  I  shall  be  whiter  than  snow. 
Make  me  to  hear  joy  and  gladness, 
That  the  bones  which  thou  hast  broken  may  rejoice. 

Hide  thy  face  from  my  sins, 

And  blot  out  all  mine  iniquities. 

Create  in  me  a  clean  heart,  O  God; 
And  renew  a  right  spirit  within  me. 

Cast  me  not  away  from  thy  presence ; 

And  take  not  thy  holy  Spirit  from  me. 
Restore  unto  me  the  joy  of  thy  salvation; 
And  uphold  me  with  a  willing  spirit. 

Then  will  I  teach  transgressors  thy  ways; 

And  sinners  shall  be  converted  unto  thee. 
O  Lord,  open  thou  my  lips; 

And  my  mouth  shall  show  forth  thy  praise. 
For  thou  delightest  not  in  sacrifice;  else  would  I  give  it: 

Thou  hast  no  pleasure  in  burnt-offering. 
The  sacrifices  of  God  are  a  broken  spirit: 

A  broken  and  a  contr.te  heart,  O  God,  thou  wilt  not  despise.

Whose  name  is  Holy: 
I  dwell  in  the  high  and  holy  place, 

With  him  also  that  is  of  a  contrite  and  humble  spirit, 
To  revive  the  spirit  of  the  humble. 

And  to  revive  the  heart  of  the  contrite.

And  I  will  heal  him,  saith  the  Lord.

Whose  sin  is  covered. 
Blessed  is  the  man  unto  whom  the  Lord  imputeth  not  iniquity, 

And  in  whose  spirit  there  is  no  guile.

Through  my  groaning  all  the  day  long:

And  mine  iniquity  did  I  not  hide : 
I  said,  I  will  confess  my  transgressions  unto  the  Lord; 

And  thou  forgavest  the  iniquity  of  my  sin. 
For  this  let  every  one  that  is  godly  pray  unto  thee  in  a  time  when  thou 
mayest  be  found: 

Surely  when  the  great  waters  overflow,  they  shall  not  reach  unto  him. 
Thou  art  my  hiding  place,  thou  wilt  preserve  me  from  trouble. 

Thou  wilt  compass  me  about  with  songs  of  deliverance. 

Hearken  unto  me,  saith  the  Lord,  and  1  will  instruct  thee. 
And  teach  thee  in  the  way  which  thou  shalt  go.

Many  sorrows  shall  be  to  the  wicked; 

But  he  that  trusteth  in  the  Lord,  lovingkindness  shall  compass  him  about.

Yea,  I  have  loved  thee  with  an  everlasting  love; 

Therefore  with  lovingkindness  have  I  drawn  thee. 
Return  unto  me  for  1  have  redeemed  thee:

And  as  a  cloud  thy  sins. 
Look  unto  me,  and  be  ye  saved,  all  the  ends  of  the  earth; 

For  I  am  God,  and  there  is  none  else. 
I  have  satiated  the  weary  soul, 

And  every  sorrowful  soul  have  I  replenished. 
And  this  is  the  covenant  that  1  will  make  with  my  people,  saith  the  Lord: 

I  will  put  my  law  in  their  inward  parts. 
And  in  their  heart  will  1  write  it;

And  they  shall  teach  no  more  every  man  his  neighbor. 
And  every  man  his  brother,  saying,  Know  the  Lord; 

For  they  shall  all  know  me.     From  the  least  of  them  even  unto  the  greatest ; 
For  I  will  forgive  their  iniquities, 

And  their  sin  will  I  remember  no  more. 

Who  is  a  God  like  unto  thee,  O  God,  that  pardoneth  iniquity; 

And  passeth  over  the  transgression  of  thy  heritage? 
He  retaineth  not  his  anger  for  ever; 
Because  he  delighteth  in  lovingkindness. 

He  will  again  have  compassion  upon  us,

Seek  ye  the  Lord  while  he  may  be  found; 
Call  ye  upon  him  while  he  is  near: 

Let  the  wicked  forsake  his  way. 

And  the  unrighteous  man  his  thoughts; 
And  let  him  return  unto  the  Lord,  and  he  will  have  mercy  upon  him; 

And  to  our  God,  for  he  will  abundantly  pardon. 
For  my  thoughts  are  not  your  thoughts.

For  as  the  heavens  are  higher  than  the  earth. 

So  are  my  ways  higher  than  your  ways.

For  as  the  rain  cometh  down  and  the  snow  from  heaven, 
And  returneth  not  thither,  but  watereth  the  earth,

And  give  seed  to  the  sower  and  bread  to  the  eater,  — 
So  shall  my  word  be  that  goeth  forth  out  of  my  mouth; 
It  shall  not  return  unto  me  void. 

But  it  shall  accomplish  that  which  I  please. 

And  it  shall  prosper  in  the  thing  whereto  I  sent  it. 

For  ye  shall  go  out  with  joy  and  be  led  forth  with  peace: 

The  mountains  and  the  hills  shall  break  forth  before  you  into  singing, 

And  all  the  trees  of  the  field  shall  clap  their  hands. 
Instead  of  the  thorn  shall  come  up  the  fir  tree. 
And  instead  of  the  brier  shall  come  up  the  myrtle  tree;

For  an  everlasting  sign  that  shall  not  be  cut  off.

„ ,  The  Great  Hizh  Priest 

Hebrews  <= 

WHEREFORE,  holy  brethren,  partakers  of  a  heavenly  calling, 
Consider  Jesus,  the  apostle  and  high  priest  of  our  confession; 
Whom  we  behold,  because  of  the  suffering  of  death, 
Crowned  with  glory  and  honor. 
For  it  became  Him,  for  whom  are  all  things  and  by  whom  are  all  things, 
in  bringing  many  sons  unto  glory, 
To  make  the  leader  of  their  salvation  perfect  through  sufferings. 
For  he  needed  to  be  made  like  his  brethren  in  all  things. 
That  he  might  become  a  merciful  and  faithful  high  priest  in  the  things 
pertaining  unto  God. 
For  in  that  he  himself  hath  suffered  being  tempted, 

He  is  able  to  succor  them  that  are  tempted. 
Though  he  was  a  Son,  yet  he  learned  obedience  by  the  things  which  he  suflPered: 
And  being  made  perfect,  he  became  unto  all  who  obey  him  the  author  of 
eternal  salvation. 
Having,  then,  a  great  high  priest  who  hath  passed  through  the  heavens, 
Jesus  the  Son  of  God, 
Let  us  hold  fast  our  confession. 
For  we  have  not  a  high  priest  who  cannot  be  touched  with  the  feeling  of  our 
infirmities. 
But  one  who  hath  been  tempted  in  all  points  like  as  we  are,  yet  without  sin. 
Let  us  then  draw  near  with  boldness  unto  the  throne  of  grace, 

With  a  true  heart  and  in  fullness  of  faith, 
That  we  may  receive  mercy. 

And  find  grace  to  help  us  in  time  of  need; 
For  he  is  able  to  save  to  the  uttermost  those  that  draw  near  to  God  through  him. 

Seeing  that  he  ever  liveth  to  make  intercession  for  them. 
Because  he  abideth  for  ever,  he  hath  his  priesthood  unchangeable: 

Jesus  Christ  the  same,  yesterday,  to-day  and  for  ever. 
Through  him  let  us  offer  continually  to  God  a  sacrifice  of  praise. 

That  is  the  fruit  of  our  lips  confessing  his  name. 
And  to  do  good  and  to  communicate  forget  not. 
For  with  such  sacrifices  God  is  well  pleased. 

Now  THE  God  of  peace,  who  brought  again  from  the  dead 
Our  Lord  Jesus,  the  great  shepherd  of  the  sheep. 
Make  us  perfect  in  every  good  work  to  do  his  will. 
Working  in  us  that  which  is  well-pleasing  in  his  sight. 
Through  Jesus  Christ; 
To  whom  be  the  glory  for  ever  and  ever.    Amen. 


Prayers 


The  Lord' 5  Prayer 

OUR  Father  who  art  in  heaven,   Hallowed  be  thy  name, 
Thy  kingdom  come.      Thy  will  be  done  on  earth,  as  it  is  in  heaven. 
Give  us  this  day  our  daily  bread. 
And  forgive  us  our  debts,  as  we  forgive  our  debtors. 
And  lead  us  not  into  temptation,  but  deliver  us  from  evil: 
For  thine  is  the  kingdom,  and  the  power,  and  the  glory,  for  ever.      Amen. 

ALMIGHTY  God,  unto  whom  all  hearts  are  open,  all  desires  known,  and 
from  whom  no  secrets  are  hid;  cleanse  the  thoughts  of  our  hearts  by  the 
inspiration  of  thy  Holy  Spirit,  that  we  may  perfectly  love  thee,  and  worthily 
magnify  thy  holy  name;  through  Christ  our  Lord.     Amen. 

O  ALMIGHTY  God,  from  whom  cometh  down  every  good  and  perfect 
gift,  and  who  pourest  out  on  all  who  desire  it  the  Spirit  of  grace  and 
supplication;  deliver  us,  when  we  draw  nigh  unto  thee,  from  coldness  of  heart 
and  wanderings  of  mind;  that  with  steadfast  thoughts  and  kindled  affections  we 
may  worship  thee  in  spirit  and  in  truth;  through  Jesus  Christ  our  Lord.     Amen. 

ALMIGHTY  and  everlasting  God,  who  art  always  more  ready  to  hear  than 
we  to  pray,  and  art  wont  to  give  more  than  either  we  desire  or  deserve; 
pour  down  upon  us  the  abundance  of  thy  mercy,  forgiving  us  those  things 
whereof  our  conscience  is  afraid,  and  giving  us  those  good  things  which  we 
are  not  worthy  to  ask,  but  through  the  merits  and  mediation  of  Jesus  Christ, 
thy  Son,  our  Lord.     Amen. 

OGOD,  light  of  the  hearts  that  see  thee,  and  life  of  the  souls  that  love 
thee,  and  strength  of  the  thoughts  that  seek  thee;  from  whom  to  be 
turned  away  is  to  fall,  to  whom  to  be  turned  is  to  rise,  and  in  whom  to  abide  is 
to  stand  fast  forever;  grant  us  now  thy  grace  and  blessing  as  we  are  here  assem- 
bled to  offer  up  our  common,  supplications;  and  though  we  are  unworthy  to 
approach  thee,  or  to  ask  anything  of  thee  at  all,  be  pleased  to  hear  and  to 
answer  us,  through  Jesus  Christ  our  Lord.      Amen. 

LORD  our  God,  great,  eternal,  wonderful  in  glory,  who  keepest  covenant 
and  promises  for  those  that  love  thee  with  their  whole  heart;  who  art 
the  life  of  all,  the  help  of  those  that  flee  unto  thee,  the  hope  of  those  who 
cry  unto  thee;  cleanse  us  from  our  sins  secret  and  open,  and  from  every 
thought  displeasing  to  thy  goodness;  cleanse  our  bodies  and  souls,  our  hearts 
and  consciences,  that  with  a  pure  heart  and  a  clear  soul,  with  perfect  love  and 
calm  hope,  we  may  venture  confidently  and  fearlessly  to  pray  unto  thee.      Amen.

THE  NEW   PILGRIM  HYMNAL 

THE  NEW  PILGRIM  HYMNAL  had  its  genesis  in  the  Pilgrim 
Hymnal  published  in  1904,  and  the  distinctive  merits  of  the  original 
book  have  been  ■preserved. 

THE  NEW  PILGRIM  HYMNAL  has  been  thoroughly  revise-' 
in  the  light  of  nine  years'  practical  use.  Hymns  and  tunes  that  failed 
of  popular  approval  have  been  omitted,  and  a  large  number  of  familiar 
hymns  not  included  in  the  old  book  for  want  of  space  are  now  included. 
It  contains  many  new  hymns  whose  acceptability,  after  careful  testing, 
is  assured,  giving  in  all  an  increase  of    120  hymns,  yet  owing  to  the 

superior  quality  of  paper  used  in  its  production,  the  new  1 ■    1  ""  ■■ 

one-fourth  less  than  the  old  book. 

THE  NEW  PILGRIM  HYMNAL  was  prepared  with  the  express 
desire  that  our  Congregational  churches  might  have  one  common  manual 
of  worship  on  which  all  could  unite.     It  is,  therefore  ection  of 

hymns,  not  a  collection,  representing  a  wide  consensus  ui  upiuion  from 
every  part  of  our  country,  seconded  by  careful  study  and  discrimina- 
tion on  the  part  of  a  strong  advisory  group  as  to  what  hymns  and  tun^-^ 
were  actually  used  and  adapted  to  the  main  services  of  our  Congrc. 
tional  churches. 

THE  NEW  PILGRIM  HYAINAL  has  placed  special  c.ui ; 
the  hymns  of  Social  Service.  The  section  of  Social  Progress,  be. 
with  Washington  Gladden's  beautiful  hymn,  "Behold  a  So-  - 
afar.  He  goeth  forth  with  might,"  and  closing  with  "Whe 
save  the  people;  O  God  of  Mercy,  when,"  by  Ebenezer  Liv 
characteristic  and  distinctive  a  feature  as  to  warrant  its  puhhcati 
if  there  were  not  a  hundred  other  marked  points  of  excelled 

THE  NEW  PILGRIM  HYMNAL  stands  un^nnmac 
light,  symmetrical  proportions.     Without  any  app 
it  presents  always  an  open  and  well-lighted  effee 
with  neither  hymns  nor  tunes  mangled  nor  crowde 

THE  NEW  PILGRIM  HYMNAL  contains  more  material  tor 
worship  in  neat  and  compact  form  than  is  contained  in  many  of  the 
more  cumbersome  hymnals.
